Upstream mega-projects: implications for crude trade and refining
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
By 2025 Brazil's pre-salt and Norway's Johan Sverdrup will add 3.8 million b/d of supply from the Atlantic basin. Most of this crude will be of similar quality: relatively heavy and sweet, averaging 28° API. This will increase supply available to more complex refineries, and cause more to be routed to Asia.
